Any aftermarket chassis?

I snapped my KB Rally in half, breaking the chassis, rear bulkheads, center skid plate, and a rear arm. I'm very new to this 16th scale thing. Are there any good aftermarket chassis out there that I should upgrade to... or should I just get another stock one?

Can you please tell me what you'd do? I'm SO unfamiliar with this platform and have NO idea what direction I should be heading in. Durability is #1 for me, as this is my backup vehicle so that I always have something to run when the other beasts are broken... So I obviously want almost no downtime. Performance is #2. It's got to remain fun. Price doesn't matter if I can get the other two. What would you replace, and with what would you replace it?

I personally do not like the look of the TBone... if my chassis broke, I would replace it with stock and get a set of aluminum bulkheads. I would shim the differential as I assembled. I would replace everything but the arms with stock. The arms would be replaced with RPM.

no the closer the diff is to locked the better it is to drift
reason being is that during driffting the wheight is lifted to one side and the other side is lighter
there for the lighter side will let the diff do its thing ...and spin out
for every time it diffs out you lose your drift or drifting ability specialy in the front end
when one wheel could be off the ground...cuaseing the contact wheel to get less power and stop
there for making it a pivot point in the midle of a drift

Integy actually did not screw this one up... they seem to be holding up rather well. GPM also makes some, HR as you mentioned... not sure if there are others or not. I know at one point in time Toyz had a $100ish special going on that included front and rear bulkheads along with a transmission case. The case wouldn't add a whole lot of strength, but the aluminum would draw a lot of heat out of the motor.
